Dante was the perfect fit for my ADHD son. My son not only learned how to do the work he's been struggling with, but he also left the meeting feeling more confident. We will definitely be using Dante again! I cannot thank him enough.

iReading TUTOR was amazing with my daughter online. We love the convenience of tutoring online because it doesn’t waste gas money and my time carting her to the lessons. She made so much growth in her decoding and comprehension skills. I Reading tutor even informed us about a FL state reading scholarships for students that earned an FSA level one or two in the 3rd and 4th grade.

I have 3 children and as a single dad, I do not have the extra time to sit down with my children as much as I would love to do so. The tutors they always send me are professional and friendly. My kids are doing great in school and always turn things in on time. The owner is very nice and friendly too.
